From Wikipedia: A person's Golden or Grand Birthday, more commonly referred to as the "Star Birthday" occurs when they turn the age of their birthday.

Today is my golden birthday! I am thankful to God for the blessings and opportunities I have received so far in my life, and I am thankful for all my family and close friends, who have helped me become the person that I am today. A year like this only comes once in a lifetime and I intend to make the best of it; so look out world...I'm coming at your head on!

Here I am, sitting on a park bench on Washington Street a little while after I left the office. My day was interestingly busy today. I did not get to take my lunch break at work until 4pm. Things kept on coming my way so I was unable to make it to the gym as I usually do during lunch hour...but I got a lot of things done.

My friend was running late so I got my laptop out of the car and started to blog about my day. People walking by kept looking at me funny...black man with a hoody on top of a 50 cent beanie, sitting on a park bench in a middle of downtown around 6:30pm on a Tuesday evening, with a laptop on his lap, 2 feet away from a silver bmw...hmm, clearly something had to be wrong with that! Whatever people...give me a break!

Anyway...I went to Dexter's for some drinks with some friends, we then headed to Bento Cafe for a late night sushi dinner with a few sake shots in the mix, and enjoyed some good conversation. Good times!

Bento Cafe is an urban style restaurant Downtown Orlando, near Church street. Its trendy atmosphere and pan-asian style cuisine will leave you wanting for more.

It is a great place to meet up, hang out, and catch up with friends while enjoying some sushi or Japanese inspired "Bento Box" meals. The service is fast and the food is tasty.

My favorite dish so far is the teriaky chicken rice bowl, served with brocoli and dark meat chicken. My bill was $7.51, and the serving size was very generous. The music is nice and upbeat, and set at a decent volume making the overall atmosphere enjoyable.
